Yes, I'm not a profi Photographer. I did the picture with a usual Camera, the Canon Powershot A95. I used the macro modus, the diaphragm opening and the exposure-time were automatic. I did the picture in a Museum, and the trick was perhaps, that there was a glass 5cm away from the coin. So a used the glass as a tripod and did the picture with a self timer, because I wanted to avoid a camera shake. I didn't use a lightning. The background was originally a red drapery, and I cut the background away. The coin was relatively big, so it filled the whole picture. Richardfabi02:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
